Top Bets For Wentworth Park Saturday, August 20

Calm before the storm at Wentworth Park on Saturday night as we countdown to next week's highly anticipated National Championships card.

Keen on a few across the program, a couple at decent each-way odds.

WENTWORTH PARK FIELDS AND FORM

Best Bets

Race 4 Number 5 Midnight Return

Boasts plenty of talent and while she's still putting the pieces together she won't get a more suitable city assignment than this. Given that we're being asked to take even money but providing she gets through the first corner balanced up and with momentum I can't see them holding her out. Just needs clear air early. Bet of the night.

Race 8 Number 6 Simply Limelight

Racing at the top of his game as evidenced in last week's spectacular victory in the National Sprint decider where he downed Bandit Ned among others. Moves to the tricky draw tonight but I'm still right with him – love the way he's going about his business and realising the truckloads of talent he possesses. Wouldn't be surprised if bookies take him on so the 5/2 early may even stretch out a bit. 

Well, that was a win and a half! ?

Simply Limelight has won a roughhouse @ladbrokescomau NSW National Sprint Final at #WentyPark tonight, coming back to win by 3/4L from Bandit Ned in a THRILLER!

Best Value

Race 6 Number 2 Outside World

In really good touch in better races and while there's some depth to this field she's boxed to run a bold race at double figure odds. Last time she drew inside she was a sub-30 winner and going every bit as good now.

Race 10 Number 3 Harley Ryder

Was a gripping last stride winner at Gosford on Tuesday night and before that strung together two solid runner-ups at WPK after relocating recently from Victoria. Has ability and strikes a wide open final event on the card where the favourite Ocular doesn't win out of turn. $11 on offer in early markets which is appealing.
